RECITALS

1. The Court has scheduled a pretrial conference date of October 14, 2005. 

2. Trial is set for February 14, 2006. 

3. The parties had attempted an unsuccessful mediation prior to the Court’s ruling on 

Defendants’ dispositive motion on July 8, 2005. 

3. The parties received a ruling on Defendants’ dispositive motion in late July 2005 

and a motion for reconsideration concerning the same in early September 2005. 

4. The parties would like to explore and possibly attempt another mediation of this 

matter. The October 14, 2005 pretrial conference date is imminent and does not permit the parties’ 

sufficient time to attempt another mediation. 

 STIPULATION/REQUEST

5. Therefore, the parties stipulate and request that the Court continue the pretrial 

conference and attendant deadlines for 30-60 days. 

6. The parties request that the trial date remain February 14, 2006.
